The sounds and UI did make the game quite engaging, but I would advocate abstracting out all the unnecessary elements until you're left with the absolute core.

Also, I recorded your morse code and found it to be -. -... -.-. -... -.-. ..-- - .- ---- .- .-- - -... -.-. ----- ...--... -.-. ..-- - .- ----- --- -... -.-. ----- ...-- .---- which translated gives NBCBC?TA?AWTBC0?C?TA0OBC031 where ? are unrecognized symbols. Either your morse code is fake or you are simulating some kind of encryption. This is disappointing, as a system to synthesize real morse code sounds is extremely easy to program. This is the kind of thing that catches detailist people."},{"author_name":"GarethIW","author_uid":"20364","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 9:47am","epoch":1399196520,"text":"I won, but it seemed kinda random?
